A lot of us were introduced to classic horror films through
midnight showings on local TV on Saturday
nights.

Many of us knew of our local horror
host.

The horror host was (and still is) a great American phenomenon
full of crazy costumes, clever names, and a lot of
charisma.

The greats are still legendary, and horror hosts continue
entertaining us on the internet and streaming video
outlets.

In this episode I talk about the confluence of events
that led to late night horror movies on television, and
some of the unique personalities that haunt our memories with our
first views of classic scary Universal monsters.

If you like the show, please consider writing a review
on iTunes. It really helps. Thanks a lot for
listening.
